Watching Us Pee
Tim Rumford passed on this bit of news--a story the Santa Cruz Sentinel has not yet broken--about the surveillance state, or, more accurately , the good ole free enterprise system in action. Perhaps the UCSC activists who corrected the 8th Amendment violations on campus by removing the offending snoopsystem there, can extend their activities to the greater Santa Cruz area?...

Puerto Rico: SEIU ¡Go Home!
El pasado sábado 31 de mayo, desde temprano en la mañana maestras y maestros militantes y federados se reunieron en los predios del Centro de Convenciones en escenario de la conferencia del sindicato imperialista SEIU quienes buscan acaparar la representación sindical de los maestros aprovechando la decertificación de quienes valientemente lucharon por sus derechos durante la reciente huelga magisterial.

One individual was stopped by ICE on Rodriguez Street in Watsonville in plain daylight. He was pushed to the ground, his hands were tied around his back, and his feet were bounded while being f...

AFSCME strike postponed -- what's next?
AFSCME 3299's strike (planned for June 4 - 5) has been postponed indefinitely. The university administration got scared by the intense organizing and solidarity being built at our campuses. So they broke out their checkbook and hired some professional union-busters, in an attempt to divide workers from one another, and to divide AFSCME from their allies. We have to respond by becoming more united and deepening our solidarity....
